TICKETS + INFORMATION

Igor Golyak’s Arlekin Players provided some of the best online theater during The Lockdown, making imaginative use of the medium in its presentations rather than just transmitting transcribed performances. Now it’s doing its new adaptation of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard both ways, in person and via a technologically mediated stream. You can see either or both. Either way, with Mikhail Baryshnikov himself playing Firs, this might be the first production in history where the family servant is the most charismatic person on stage.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, although the characters in the play wouldn’t lower themselves, treat yourself to some absolutely delicious Central Asian food at Farida. Streaming at home, there’s nothing for it but an ice-cold straight-out-of-the-freezer Vodka.
